    Multi-Reo Owners. I need your help.

    Hmpf. Five pages and NO love for the lil' guys. Hmpf. :) I'm just here to represent: I have 4 minis: 2 original, 1 2.1 and a Woodvil. All of them in use, and my scuffed original black would be a real wrench to lose (we've been through a lot), but, if I could only have one, it'd be the 2.1. If...

    3 years with REOs today - Thanks everyone

    Congratulations! I don't know the exact day of receipt, but my first order is dated May 11, 11, so my silver mini came the week after yours. Amazing, honestly life-changing device...I'd gone from pen-styles and dripping and, while they'd worked well enough that I'd not backslid, the battery...

    Reo Grand vs Reo Mini

    I took a ruler and some cardboard and made models. Really, I did, and it helped me decide. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/reos-mods/161169-reo-measurements-parts-terminology.html (Use the mini 2.1 measurements, that's the current model.)

    I can't buy coils?

    You're seeing a lot about building coils because quite a few people have moved away from disposable atomizers and cartomizers and use a rebuildable instead...way, way cheaper in the long run. But Reos have a standard 510 connection, and will happily use any of them. I *just* got my first...

    Took the plunge and have a couple of questions

    About the magnets...my SO dropped a door, in the house, and the magnet (old style mini had only 1) popped out. We crawled around, stuck a flashlight under furniture and finally swept the whole area...that little booger was GONE. If you ever need to replace one (and, since you've got 'em on hand...

    My first Reo

    Yup, the gold plating on the new firing pins doesn't oxidize (and that's what the noalox prevents).

    Ok family, Pick my next Reo.

    It's hard to go wrong with basic black, but I just got a 2.1 mini Hammertone Silver on Friday and, boy, is it handsome! The pictures on the site are bright daylight, indoors it's darker overall, the contrast of the pattern gives it a lot of interest...not a Plain Jane without being in your face...

    Health and beauty benefits. Also Vape and kiddos.

    You're not imagining a thing. I'm older than you, smoked longer, and fairly soon after getting off cigarettes started to notice the skin on my face was dramatically becoming softer. My lungs, though it was a "shut the door after the cows have gotten out" situation in my case, feel lighter...

    Molehill Mountain Drip Tips!

    Off topic...but not really: ECF's latest newsletter arrived in my email today and they listed the 5 most active forum threads...and the MHM Brag thread came in at #5! Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

    Reo Mini v1 Question

    I've settled on EmpireMods' bridgeless 1.8, long ago Gil recommended their 1.5s but they run too hot for my ADV. Got a couple of 2 ohm HH357s hoarded but just can't justify the cost when the EMs are reasonably close in flavor production. I have a little heap of things I need from reosmods, tube...

    Reo Mini v1 Question

    Thank you, that is a very kind offer. I've just got to take the plunge and stop finding reasons to put it off. Thinking you still had to request special milling for the originals, I waffled over getting a 2.1 to go with....then it was "which color?"...you can overthink yourself into paralysis...

    Reo Mini v1 Question

    Thanks, JC Okie, I haven't kept up and didn't know the RM2 fit the old catch cup size...hmmm, have to rethink the order I've been plotting (*very* late to the rebuilding party and not at all confident about it, but the cost of good atomizers is galling). My two metal minis are from spring...

    Brass doors

    Ohmygosh...gorgeous! There is no way I could personally keep such a beautiful thing pristine enough to do justice; my little black/black mini, after almost three years' constant use, is all little dings and scuffed corners and it's door looks dim and dirty even though it's not. So, I won't...

    Hey everybody, meet Trey!

    Very, very cool! That deserves a little display box, something simple & see-through. Melissa

    A year with the VVW

    While it's lovely to saunter into the store and be able to grab things, I treasure the memory of those Sale Nights I participated in...even the ones where I just wasn't fast enough, or panicked. I always heard the announcer of the old Wide World of Sports program intoning "the JOY of victory...

    The REO Lounge - Part II

    Too fussy for me (and I have way too many clumsy moments for glass tips anyway), but I like looking at them. She sells from that thread, has a shop on Etsy BlackRavenTips by BlackRaventips on Etsy , and Alice in Vapeland sells some when they have them. (AiV is only open Wednesday...

    About to pull the trigger... seeking verification and a few misc. answers

    There are way too many variables to generalize a formula of x# squonks = y# draws. Fresh battery? Fresh atomizer? Full vs nearly empty bottle? Ohms of atomizer? Thickness of liquid? In the summer months here in Florida it almost autofeeds, just a tiny bit, and that makes a difference, too...

    About to pull the trigger... seeking verification and a few misc. answers

    I could make a mini just like your Grand by switching doors (have a silver/silver and a black/black) but I'm too much of a fuddy-duddy. :) (That and the silver's been used for cinnamon, which I really don't much care for.) About atomizers & their covers...I started with a pen-style, big...
